About these Integrating Information - Mental Health worksheets and activities
Mental Health education in elementary school begins with identifying feelings and recognizing that everyone experiences a range of emotions. By grades 4 and 5, students move beyond simple identification to explore strategies for managing stress, resolving conflicts, and supporting peers. Resources on this page cover themes such as self-regulation, empathy, friendship, and positive thinking, often through relatable scenarios like cheering up a friend or handling disappointment.
Across the grade range, students practice skills like perspective-taking, active listening, and problem-solving. Activities include reflection prompts, role-play scenarios, and discussion guides that build emotional vocabulary and resilience. Related concepts such as mindfulness, growth mindset, and healthy communication are woven into the materials, helping students connect mental health to their daily lives and academic success.
